Hi,

This issue may occur due to multiple application is active on the device, if this happens just simply removed the battery of your phone and it will force to shut down the phone , then just insert the battery again then turn it on again. This will help , it happens to me once.

Samsumg galaxy tab 3 shuts off every 30 minutes

Check the power settings to see if that is the cause of it shutting down. Streaming music does not produce the keep alive activity that is required, so it thinks that it isn't being used and turns off.
